Mode 7 isn't that difficult to produce by itself. The Atari 800 had a game from Synapse Software called Dimension X. It was essentially Star Raiders with a whizzy visual effect added. The Atari didn't have enough color range and throughput to do anything really interesting, as we became accustomed to on the SNES. For a person who remembers that era first hand, what can be done with a mere few dollars of hardware today is amazing.
